APPARATUS FOR WAXING PAPER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 362,547, dated May 10,1887.

Application filedMarch 15, 1886. Serial No. 195,320. (No model.)

To aZZwhom it may concern:

Be it known that we, ISAAC SHEROK and JOSEPH BATIG, J r., of Fremont, inthe county of Sandusky and State of Ohio, haveinvented certain new anduseful Improvements in Apparatus for Waxing Paper and we do herebydeclare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of theinvention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to whichit'appertains to make and use the same.

Our invention relates to an improvementin apparatus for waxing paper.

The object is to provide simple and effective means for spraying wax ina soft liquid or melted state on paper or other material.

With these ends in View our invention consists in certain features ofconstruction and combinations of parts, as will be hereinafterdescribed, and pointed out in the claims.

The accompanying drawing represents the apparatus in side elevation,partly in section.

A represents a reservoir, in which the wax is reduced to a liquid, soft,or melted state by means of a coiled pipe, B, heated by hot air.

or steam; or a series of pipes might be inserted in the reservoir asradiators; or the wax might be melted by a blast of hot air or steambeneath, or beneath and around, the reservoir. From the reservoir A themelted wax is conducted to the receptacle C through a pipe, D, providedwith a stop-cock, d, to regulate its flow.

E represents the sprayer or sprayers, provided with a feed-pipeleadingdown into the receptacle C. A blower, F, is adapted to furnish a blastof hot or cold air to the sprayer or sprayers through a pipe, f.

The paper or other material, C, is led from a supply reel or basket, H,between a set of tensionrollers, I, mounted on shafts gearedsynchronously, and thence over the face of a metallic plate, K, where itreceives the waxspray from the sprayer or Sprayers. From thence it leadsbetween a pair or set of carrierrollers, L, mounted on shafts gearedsynchronously, and thence to a winding-reel, M. The plate K is kept atthe proper temperature by means of a coil heat-radiator, N, or othersuitable means, and the paper is heated, by'suitable means, on the sideon which the wax is applied.

The operation of the apparatus is evident from the above description,and requires no further explanation.

By the above means the wax may be deposited on thepaper to any desiredthickness and with great regularity,the rate at which the paper is madeto travel or the moving of the mouth of the sprayer or sprayers nearerto or farther away from the paper serving to determine the thickness ofthe deposit.

It is evidentthat slight changes mightoe resorted to in the constructionand arrangement of the several parts described without departing fromthe spirit and scope of our invention; hence we do not wish to limitourselves strictly to the construction herein set forth; but,

Having fully described our invention,what we claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The combination, with the sprayer or sprayers and the reservoir forsupplying melted wax to the sprayer or sprayers, of the metallic platein front of the sprayer or sprayers and means for regulating the flow ofthe wax, substantially as set forth.

2. The combination, with the sprayer or Sprayers and thesupply-reservoir, of a feedpipe leading from the supply-reservoir to thesprayer or sprayers receptacle and means for regulating the flow of thewax, substantially as set forth;

In testimony whereof we have signed this specification in the presenceof two subscribing-witnesses.
